PART I

Item 1. Business

IWEB, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 17, 2015.

The Company’s original business plan was to actively engage in providing high impact internet marketing strategies to internet based businesses and people seeking to create websites, but this business was not successful. On December 12, 2016, 24,997,500 shares of the common stock of the Company, representing 97.08% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at that time, were sold by Dmitriy Kolyvayko in a private transaction to Mr. Wai Hok Fung (the “Transaction”) for an aggregate purchase price of $380,000. In connection with the Transaction, Mr. Kolyvayko released the Company from certain liabilities and obligations arising out of his service as a director and officer of the Company.

On January 5, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to change the Company’s fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31, effective as of December 31, 2016.

On May 15, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Enigma Technology International Corporation (“Enigma BVI”), and all the shareholders of Enigma BVI, namely, Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon and S-Mark Co. Ltd. (collectively the “Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Enigma BVI in exchange for the issuance to the Shareholders of an aggregate of 31,500,000 restricted shares of IWEB, Inc.’s common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The Reverse Merger closed on May 15, 2017. As a result of the Reverse Merger, Enigma BVI is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Enigma BVI was incorporated on February 22, 2017 in the British Virgin Islands.

Digiwork (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (“Digiwork”) was established and incorporated in Thailand on November 24, 2016. The authorized capital of the Digiwork is THB5,000,000  (approximately $154,751), divided into 500,000 common shares with a par value of THB10 per share, which has been fully paid up as of December 31, 2016.

On May 15, 2017, Enigma BVI, Digiwork and the shareholders of Digiwork entered into the following commercial arrangements, or collectively, “VIE Agreements,” pursuant to which Enigma BVI has contractual rights to control and operate the businesses of Digiwork.

Pursuant to an Exclusive Technology Consulting and Service Agreement, Enigma BVI agreed to act as the exclusive consultant of Digiwork and provide technology consulting and services to Digiwork. In exchange, Digiwork agreed to pay Enigma BVI a technology consulting and service fee, the amount of which is decided by Enigma BVI on the basis of the work performed and commercial value of the services and the fee amount to be equivalent to the amount of net profit before tax of Digiwork on a quarterly basis; provided that the minimum amount of which is no less than THB30,000   (approximately $929) per quarter. Without the prior written consent of Enigma BVI, Digiwork may not accept the same or similar technology consulting and services provided by any third party during the term of the agreement. All the benefits and interests generated from the agreement, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, know-how and trade secrets, will be Enigma BVI’s sole and exclusive property. The term of this agreement will expire on May 15, 2027 and may be extended unilaterally by Enigma BVI with Enigma BVI's written confirmation prior to the expiration date. Digiwork cannot terminate the agreement early unless Enigma BVI commits fraud, gross negligence or illegal acts, or becomes bankrupt or winds up. 

Pursuant to an Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement, the shareholders of Digiwork granted to Enigma BVI and any party designated by Enigma BVI the exclusive right to purchase at any time during the term of this agreement all or part of the equity interests in Digiwork, or the “Equity Interests,” at a purchase price equal to the registered capital paid by the shareholders of Digiwork for the Equity Interests, or, in the event that applicable law requires an appraisal of the Equity Interests, the lowest price permitted under applicable law; Pursuant to powers of attorney executed by each of the shareholders of Digiwork, such shareholders irrevocably authorized any person appointed by Enigma BVI to exercise all shareholder rights, including but not limited to voting on their behalf on all matters requiring approval of Digiwork’s shareholders, disposing of all or part of the shareholder's equity interest in Digiwork, and electing, appointing or removing directors and executive officers. The person designated by Enigma BVI is entitled to dispose of dividends and profits on the equity interest without reliance of any oral or written instructions of the shareholder. Each power of attorney will remain in force for so long as the shareholder remains a shareholder of Digiwork. Each shareholder has waived all the rights which have been authorized to Enigma BVI’s designated person under each power of attorney.

Pursuant to equity pledge agreements, each of the shareholders of Digiwork pledged all of the Equity Interests to Enigma BVI to secure the full and complete performance of the obligations and liabilities on the part of Digiwork and each of its shareholders under this and the above contractual arrangements. If Digiwork or the shareholders of Digiwork breach their contractual obligations under these agreements, then Enigma BVI, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests. The shareholders of Digiwork agree that, during the term of the equity pledge agreements, they will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests, and they also agree that Enigma BVI’s rights relating to the equity pledge should not be prejudiced by the legal actions of the shareholders, their successors or their designees. During the term of the equity pledge, Enigma BVI has the right to receive all of the dividends and profits distributed on the pledged equity. The equity pledge agreements will terminate on the second anniversary of the date when Digiwork and the shareholders of Digiwork have completed all their obligations under the contractual agreements described above.

As a result of the above contractual arrangements, Enigma BVI has substantial control over Digiwork’s daily operations and financial affairs, election of its senior executives and all matters requiring shareholder approval. Furthermore, as the primary beneficiary of Digiwork, the Company, via Enigma BVI, is entitled to consolidate the financial results of Digiwork in its own consolidated financial statements under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, or ASC Topic 810.

Digiwork was set up pursuant to a joint business agreement among its shareholders on August 4, 2016 and as amended and restated on March 31, 2017 (“JBA”). Pursuant to the JBA, Digiwork is obligated to pay a total of $10,000,000 to a shareholder of Digiwork, Digiwork Co., Ltd. (“Digiwork Korea”). As consideration for such payments, Digiwork Korea agreed to provide research and development services to Digiwork for a period of five years commencing on March 31, 2017. On December 31, 2016, an initial payment of $100,000 was paid to Digiwork Korea.

On July 10, 2017, the parties to the JBA entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Joint Business Agreement which amended the total payment from $10,000,000 to $1,100,000. The final payment of $1,000,000 is due on August 31, 2017. In May 2018, the final payment of $1,000,000 was paid to Digiwork Korea.

Digiwork Korea also agreed to grant Digiwork full and exclusive licenses of any new launches, developments, improvements and any other intellectual property rights of coding technology so developed by Digiwork Korea. The territories for such licenses are in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Digiwork was authorized by Digiwork Korea to be an official licensee and distributor of its technology exclusively in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, and the authorization covers all four categories of Digiwork Korea’s coding technology: image, audio, web and security coding. This technology enables governments and enterprises around the world to give digital identities to media and objects that computers can sense and recognize, and to which they can react. Digiwork is a technology development and services provider specializing in coding services in various industries and markets. 

In the first quarter of 2017, Digiwork signed two service contracts with two unrelated entities for coding services. Both service contracts were completed as of September 30, 2017. In the year ended December 31, 2018, Digiwork signed program upgrading contracts with its customers, and these contracts were completed as of December 31, 2018.

On March 7, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the State of Nevada (the “Certificate”) to effect a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) such that, following the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock was reduced from 150,000,000 to 75,000,000. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on March 13, 2018.

All references to share and per share data of IWEB, Inc. have been adjusted to give effect of the 1-for-2 reverse stock split by the Company effective on March 13, 2018.

Organization and reorganization

Enigma BVI was incorporated on February 22, 2017 in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability as an investment holding company. Upon incorporation, Enigma BVI issued 50,000 shares at $1 each. Prior to the reorganization, Enigma BVI was owned 57.5% by Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, 2.5% by Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon, and 40% by S-Mark Co. Ltd., a KOSDAQ-listed corporation and 100% shareholder of Digiwork Korea.

Digiwork (Thailand) Co. Ltd was incorporated in Thailand with limited liability on November 24, 2016. Digiwork was also owned 57.5% by Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, 2.5% by Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon, and 40% by S-Mark Co. Ltd.  

On May 15, 2017, Enigma BVI, Digiwork and the shareholders of Digiwork entered into the abovementioned VIE Agreements, pursuant to which Enigma BVI has contractual rights to control and operate the businesses of Digiwork. The change in control of and the acquisition of Digiwork by Enigma BVI have been accounted for as common control transaction in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and there was no recognition of any goodwill or excess of the acquirers’ interest in the net fair value of the acquirees’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the common control combinations. Therefore, this transaction was recorded at historical cost with a reclassification of equity from retained profits to additional paid in capital to reflect the deemed value of consideration given in the local jurisdiction and the capital structure of Enigma BVI.

On May 15, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Enigma Technology International Corporation (“Enigma BVI”), and all the shareholders of Enigma BVI, namely, Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon and S-Mark Co. Ltd. (collectively the “Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Enigma BVI in exchange for the issuance to the Shareholders of an aggregate of 31,500,000 restricted shares of IWEB, Inc.’s common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The Reverse Merger closed on May 15, 2017. As a result of the Reverse Merger, Enigma BVI is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On May 15, 2017, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announcing the completion of the business combination between the Company and Enigma BVI in accordance with the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result of the transaction, Enigma BVI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the former shareholders of Enigma BVI became the holders of approximately 84% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Enigma BVI is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.  The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.

In September 2018, the Company incorporated Marvelous ERA Limited in the British Virgin Islands as a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Marvelous ERA”). Marvelous ERA is the 70% majority owner of One Belt One Network Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“OBON”) which was incorporated in October 2018. OBON is the sole parent of One Belt One Network (HK) Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong SAR in October 2018. These companies currently have minimal operations.

The financial statements of the Company include all of the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and its VIE entity, Digiwork.

Our Business Strategy

Digiwork was set up pursuant to a joint business agreement among its shareholders (“JBA”) on August 4, 2016, as amended and restated on March 31, 2017. Pursuant to the JBA, Digiwork was originally obligated to pay a total of $10,000,000 to S-Mark Co., Ltd. or Digiwork Co., Ltd. (“Digiwork Korea”, a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of S-Mark Co., Ltd., which is a shareholder of Digiwork and a 31.3% shareholder of the Company). On July 10, 2017, parties to the JBA entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Joint Business Agreement which amended the total payment from $10,000,000 to $1,100,000. As the consideration for such payments, Digiwork Korea agreed to provide research and development services to Digiwork for a period of five years commencing from March 31, 2017. Digiwork currently has 4 full time employees, all of which are administrative staff members. The technical services are currently provided by contracted technicians from Digiwork Korea.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company operates in an environment that involves a number of risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that presently are not considered material or are not known to us, and therefore are not mentioned herein, may impair our business operations. If any of the risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K actually occur, our business, operating results and financial position could be adversely affected. 

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or sustain profitability, particularly if we were to lose large contracts.

Digiwork was formed on November 24, 2016. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, revenue of $30,192 and $126,456 was generated from the operation and the company is still in developing stage. In 2017, Digiwork signed and completed two service contracts with two unrelated entities for coding services. In 2018, Digiwork signed program upgrading contracts with its customers, and these contracts were completed as of December 31, 2018. Digiwork has incurred net losses from inception. Although we anticipate that Digiwork will be a profitable company, in order to achieve sustained profitability we will need to generate more revenue from coding technologies, which we cannot ensure will happen. Achieving sustained profitability will depend upon a variety of factors, including the extent to which we may be required to increase the size of our workforce in order to execute our business strategy and capitalize on new opportunities, which might increase the expenses significantly. In addition, we will evaluate our strategy and market opportunities on an ongoing basis and will adjust our approach to market conditions from time to time. Finally, various adverse developments, including the loss of contracts or cost overruns on our existing contracts, could have a negative effect on our revenue or our margins. Accordingly, increases in our expenses may not be offset by revenue generated and as a result we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

The majority of our revenue is subject to commercial contracts and development of new markets that may involve unpredictable delays and other unexpected changes, which might limit our actual revenue in any given quarter or year.

We will derive substantial portions of our revenue from commercial contracts tied to development schedules or development of new markets, which could shift for months, quarters or years as the needs of our customers and the markets in which they participate change. Commercial customers also face budget pressures that introduce added uncertainty. Any shift in development schedules, the markets in which we participate, or customer procurement processes, which are outside our control and may not be predictable, could result in delays in bookings forecasted for any particular period, could affect the predictability of our quarterly and annual results, and might limit our actual revenue in any given quarter or year, resulting in reduced and less predictable revenue and adversely affecting profitability. 

The market for our products is highly competitive and alternative technologies or larger companies may undermine, limit or eliminate the market for our products' technologies, which would decrease our revenue and profits.

The markets in which we compete for business are intensely competitive and rapidly evolving. We expect competition to continue from both existing competitors and new market entrants. We face competition from other companies and from alternative technologies. Because the market solutions based on our technologies are still in an early stage of development, we also may face competition from unexpected sources.

Alternative technologies   that may directly or indirectly compete with particular applications of our watermarking technologies include:

· Encryption—securing data during distribution using a secret code so it cannot be accessed except by authorized users;

· Containers—inserting a media object in an encrypted wrapper, which prevents the media object from being duplicated and is used for content distribution and transaction management;

· DataGlyphs®—a slightly visible modification of the characteristics of an image or document that is machine-readable;

· Scrambled Indicia®—an optical refraction-based data-hiding technique that is inserted into an image and can be read with a lens;

· Traditional anti-counterfeiting technologies—a number of solutions used by many enterprises (and that compete for budgetary outlays) designed to deter counterfeiting, including traditional barcode, QR code, laser printing etc;

· Radio frequency tags—embedding a chip that emits a signal when in close proximity with a receiver, which is being used in photo identification credentials, labels and tags;

· Internet technologies—numerous existing and potential Internet access and search methods are competitive with Digiwork (Thailand);

· Digital fingerprints and signatures—a metric, or metrics, computed solely from a source image or audio or video track, that can be used to identify an image or track, or authenticate the image or track;

· Smart cards—badges and cards including a semiconductor memory and /or processor used for authentication and related purposes; and

· Bar codes or QR codes—data-carrying codes, typically visible in nature (but may be invisible if printed in ultraviolet- or infrared responsive inks).

In the competitive environment in which we operate, product generation, development and marketing processes relating to technology are uncertain and complex, requiring accurate prediction of demand as well as successful management of various development risks inherent in technology development. In light of these dependencies, it is possible that failure to successfully accommodate future changes in technologies related to our technologies could have a long-term effect on our growth and results of operations.

New developments are expected to continue, and we do not assure you that discoveries by others, including current and potential competitors, will not render our services and products noncompetitive. Moreover, because of rapid technological changes, we may be required to expend greater amounts of time and money than anticipated to develop new products and services, which in turn may require greater revenue streams from these products and services to cover developmental costs. Many of the companies that compete with us for some of our business, as well as other companies with whom we may compete in the future, are larger and may have greater technical, financial, marketing, and political resources than we do. These resources could enable these companies to initiate severe price cuts or take other measures in an effort to gain market share or otherwise impede our progress. We do not assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future participants in our market or against alternative technologies, or that the competitive pressures we face will not decrease our revenue and profits in the future.

We depend on our management and key employees for our future success. If we are not able to retain, hire or integrate these employees, we may not be able to meet our commitments.

Our success depends to a significant extent on the performance and continued service of our management and our intellectual property team. The loss of the services of any of these employees could limit our growth or undermine customer relationships. 

Due to the high level of technical expertise that our industry requires, our ability to successfully develop, market, sell, license and support our products, services, and intellectual property depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our key personnel in engineering, sales, marketing, operations, legal and licensing, many of whom would be difficult to replace. We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to retain our current key employees and our ability to attract, integrate and retain these personnel in the future. It may not be practical for us to match the compensation some of our employees could garner at other employment. In addition, we may encounter difficulties in hiring and retaining employees because of concerns related to our financial performance. These circumstances may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock, and employees and prospective employees may factor in the uncertainties relating to our stability and the value of any equity-based incentives in their decisions regarding employment opportunities and decide to leave our employ. Moreover, our business is based in large part on patented technology, which is unique and not generally known. New employees require substantial training, involving significant resources and management attention. Competition for experienced personnel in our business can be intense. If we do not succeed in attracting new, qualified personnel or in integrating, retaining and motivating our current personnel, our growth and ability to deliver products and services that our customers require may be hampered. Although our employees generally have executed agreements containing non-competition clauses, we do not assure you that a court would enforce all of the terms of these clauses or the clauses generally. If these clauses were not fully enforced, our employees could be able to freely join our competitors. Although we generally attempt to control access to and distribution of our proprietary information by our employees, we do not assure you that the confidential nature of our proprietary information will be maintained in the course of such future employment. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial and business prospects.

If leading companies in our industry or standard-setting bodies or institutions downplay, minimize, or reject the use of our technologies, deployment may be slowed and we may be unable to achieve revenue growth, particularly in the media and entertainment sectors.

Many of our business endeavors, such as our development of intellectual property in support of audio and video copy-control applications, can be impeded or frustrated by larger, more influential companies or by standard-setting bodies or institutions downplaying, minimizing or rejecting the value or use of our other technologies. A negative position by these companies, bodies or institutions, if taken, may result in obstacles for us that we would be incapable of overcoming and may block or impede the adoption of digital coding, particularly in the media and entertainment market. In addition, potential customers in the media and entertainment industry may delay or reject initiatives that relate to deployment of our technologies. Such a development would make the achievement of our business objectives in this market difficult or impossible.

If we are unable to respond to regulatory or industry standards effectively, or if we are unable to develop and integrate new technologies effectively, our growth and the development of our products and services could be delayed or limited.

Our future success will depend in part on our ability to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of our products and services, and those of our business partners, in accordance with regulatory or industry standards. Our ability to remain competitive will depend in part on our ability to influence and respond to emerging industry and governmental standards in a timely and cost-effective manner. If we are unable to influence these or other standards or respond to such standards effectively, our growth and the development of certain products and services could be delayed or limited.

Our market is characterized by new and evolving technologies. The success of our business will depend on our ability to develop and integrate new technologies effectively and address the increasingly sophisticated technological needs of our customers in a timely and cost effective manner. Our ability to remain competitive will depend in part on our ability to:

We cannot assure you that we will be successful in responding to these technological and industry challenges in a timely and cost-effective manner. If we are unable to develop or integrate new technologies effectively or respond to these changing needs, our margins could decrease, and our release of new products and services and the deployment of our coding technology could be adversely affected.

We may need to retain additional employees or contract labor in the future in order to take advantage of new business opportunities arising from increased demand, which could impede our ability to achieve or sustain profitability.

We have staffed our company with the intent of achieving and sustaining profitability. Our current staffing levels could affect our ability to respond to increased demand for our services. In addition, to meet any increased demand and take advantage of new business opportunities in the future, we may need to increase our workforce through additional employees or contract labor, which would increase our costs. If we experience such an increase in costs, we may not succeed in achieving or sustaining profitability.

We are dependent on the licenses granted by our Korean business partner and their R&D efforts, and our future growth will depend to some extent on our successful implementation of our technology in solutions provided by our Korean joint venture party, S-Mark Co Ltd.

Our business and strategy rely substantially on deployment of our technologies licensed and research and development provided by our Korean shareholder and business partner, S-Mark Co Ltd because the coding technologies are owned by Digiwork Korea, a 100% owned subsidiary of S-Mark Co Ltd. Although Digiwork Korea agrees to provide existing coding technologies to Digiwork pursuant to the executed Amended and Restated Joint Business Agreement, S-Mark Co Ltd. and Digiwork Korea may not provide or even may not be able to develop any new or updated coding technologies to Digiwork, which could harm our business and competitive position and make us lost in competition environment.

The loss of international customers or the failure to find new international customers could adversely affect our profitability and slow our growth.

We believe that revenue from sales of products and services to commercial customers outside the Thailand could represent a growing percentage of our total revenue in the future. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Joint Business Agreement, Digiwork may launch the coding technologies services in seven countries, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar. International sales and services are subject to a number of risks that can adversely affect our sales of products and services to customers outside of Thailand, including the following:

We do not have an extensive operational infrastructure for international business. We generally depend on local or international business partners and subcontractors for performance of substantial portions of our business. These factors may result in greater risk of performance problems or of reduced profitability with respect to our international programs in these markets. In addition, if foreign customers terminate or delay the implementation of our products and services, it may be difficult for us to recover our potential losses.

We are exposed to currency exchange fluctuations and do not engage in foreign currency hedging transactions. We may in the future choose to limit our exposure by the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts, collared options, currency swap agreements or through similar hedging strategies. No currency hedging strategy, however, can fully protect against exchange-related losses.

The terms and conditions of our contracts could subject us to damages, losses and other expenses if we fail to meet delivery and other performance requirements.

Our service contracts typically include provisions imposing (i) development, delivery and installation schedules and milestones, (ii) customer acceptance and testing requirements and (iii) other performance requirements. To the extent these provisions involve performance over extended periods of time, risks of noncompliance may increase. Companies operating in these industries often experience delays in system implementation, timely acceptance of programs, concerns regarding program performance and other contractual disputes. Any failure to meet contractual milestones or other performance requirements as promised, or to successfully resolve customer disputes, could result in us incurring liability for damages, as well as increased costs, lower margins, or compensatory obligations in addition to other losses, such as harm to our reputation. Any unexpected increases in costs to meet our contractual obligations or any other requirements necessary to address claims and damages with regard to our customer contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Our products could have unknown defects or errors, which may give rise to claims against us, divert application of our resources from other purposes or increase our project implementation and support costs.

Products and services as complex as those we offer or develop may contain undetected defects or errors. Furthermore, we anticipate providing complex implementation, integration, customization, consulting and other technical services in connection with the implementation and ongoing maintenance of our products and services. Despite testing, defects or errors in our products and services may occur, which could result in delays in the development and implementation of products and systems, inability to meet customer requirements or expectations in a timely manner, loss of revenue or market share, increased implementation and support costs, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation, increased insurance costs, increased service and warranty costs and warranty or breach of contract claims. Although we attempt to reduce the risk of losses resulting from warranty or breach of contract claims through warranty disclaimers and liability limitation clauses in our sales agreements when we can, these contractual provisions are sometimes not included and may not be enforceable in every instance. If a court refuses to enforce the liability-limiting provisions of our contracts for any reason, or if liabilities arose that were not contractually limited or adequately covered by insurance, the expense associated with defending these actions or paying the resultant claims could be significant. 

The security systems used in our product and service offerings may be circumvented or sabotaged by third parties, which could result in the disclosure of sensitive information or private personal information or cause other business interruptions that could damage our reputation and disrupt our business.

Our business relies on computers and other information technologies, both internal and at customer locations. The protective measures that we use may not prevent security breaches, and failure to prevent security breaches may disrupt our business, damage our reputation, and expose us to litigation and liability. A party who is able to circumvent security measures could misappropriate sensitive or proprietary information or materials or cause interruptions or otherwise damage our products, services and reputation, and the property of our customers. If unintended parties obtain sensitive data and information, or create bugs or viruses or otherwise sabotage the functionality of our systems, we may receive negative publicity, incur liability to our customers or lose the confidence of our customers, any of which may cause the termination or modification of our contracts. Further, our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover losses and liabilities that may result from these events.

In addition, we may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect ourselves against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches. Any protection or remedial measures may not be available at a reasonable price or at all, or may not be entirely effective if commenced.

We are subject to risks encountered by companies developing and relying upon new technologies, products and services for substantial amounts of their growth or revenue.

Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties to which companies with new and rapidly evolving technologies, products and services are exposed. These risks include the following:

· we may be unable to develop sources of new revenue or sustainable growth in revenue because our current and anticipated technologies, products and services may be inadequate or may be unable to attract or retain customers;

· the intense competition and rapid technological change in our industry could adversely affect the market's acceptance of our existing and new products and services; and

· we may be unable to develop and maintain new technologies upon which our existing and new products and services are dependent in order for our products and services to be sustainable and competitive and in order for us to expand our revenue and business.

Some of our key technologies and solutions are in the development stage. Consequently, products incorporating these technologies and solutions are undergoing technological change and are in the early stage of introduction in the marketplace. Delays in the adoption of these products or adverse competitive developments may result in delays in the development of new revenue sources or the growth in our revenue. In addition, we may be required to incur unanticipated expenditures if product changes or improvements are required. Additionally, new industry standards might redefine the products that we are able to sell, especially if these products are only in the prototype stage of development. If product changes or improvements are required, success in marketing these products by us and achieving profitability from these products could be delayed or halted. We also may be required to fund any changes or improvements out of operating income, which could adversely affect our profitability.

We may not be able to protect adequately our intellectual property, and we may be subject to infringement claims and other litigation, which could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends in part on our licensed technologies. To protect our intellectual property portfolio, we rely on a combination of trademark and trade secret rights, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements. Unlicensed copying and use of our intellectual property or infringement of our intellectual property rights result in the loss of revenue to us.

We face risks associated with our intellectual property rights, including the potential need from time to time to engage in significant legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the possibility that the validity or enforceability of our intellectual property rights may be denied, and the possibility that third parties will be able to compete against us without infringing our intellectual property rights. Budgetary concerns may cause us not to file, or continue, litigation against known infringers of our intellectual property rights, or may cause us not to file for, or pursue, intellectual property protection for all of our inventive technologies in jurisdictions where they may have value. Some governmental entities that might infringe our intellectual property rights may enjoy sovereign immunity from such claims. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary technologies adequately, if there are changes in applicable laws that are adverse to our interests, or if we become involved in litigation relating to our intellectual property rights and proprietary technologies or relating to the intellectual property rights of others, our business could be seriously harmed because the value ascribed to our intellectual property could diminish and result in a lower stock price or we may incur significant costs in bringing legal proceedings against third parties who are infringing our intellectual property rights. 

Effective protection of intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited. Intellectual property protection throughout the world is generally established on a country-by-country basis. We do not assure you that the protection of our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technologies, duplicate our services or design around any of our patents or other intellectual property rights.

As more companies engage in business activities relating to digital coding, and develop corresponding intellectual property rights, it is increasingly likely that claims may arise which assert that some of our products or services infringe upon other parties' intellectual property rights. These claims could subject us to costly litigation, divert management resources and result in the invalidation of our intellectual property rights. These claims may require us to pay significant damages, cease production of infringing products, terminate our use of infringing technologies or develop non-infringing technologies. In these circumstances, continued use of our technologies may require that we acquire licenses to the additional intellectual property that is the subject of the alleged infringement, and we might not be able to obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our use of protected technologies may result in liability that threatens our continuing operation.

Some of our contracts include provisions regarding our non-infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. As deployment of our technology increases, and more companies enter our markets, the likelihood of a third party lawsuit resulting from these provisions increases. If an infringement arose in a context governed by such a contract, we may have to refund to our customer amounts already paid to us or pay significant damages, or we may be sued by the party allegedly infringed upon. Compliance with any such contract provisions may require that we pursue litigation where our costs exceed our likely recovery.

As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees, directors, consultants and corporate partners, and attempt to control access to and distribution of our technologies, solutions, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these procedures, third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and make unauthorized use of our technologies, solutions or other proprietary information or independently develop similar technologies, solutions or information. The steps that we have taken to prevent misappropriation of our solutions, technologies or other proprietary information may not prevent their misappropriation, particularly outside Thailand where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in Thailand.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to remediate the material weaknesses or maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our shares may be adversely affected.  

To implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. Under current law, we are subject to the requirement that we maintain internal controls and that management perform periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls, assuming our filing status remains as a smaller reporting company. A report of our management is included under Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: we did not have an Audit Committee, we did not maintain appropriate cash controls, we did not implement appropriate information technology controls, and we currently lack sufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We plan to take measures to remedy these material weaknesses. Our Board of Directors plans, if possible, to recommend the addition of an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in fiscal 2019.   We plan, as funding permits, to appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s periodic financial reporting. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to address any control deficiency could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. Moreover, effective internal control over financial reporting is important to prevent fraud. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares, may be materially and adversely affected. 

If our revenue models and pricing structures relating to products and services that are under development do not gain market acceptance, the products and services may fail to attract or retain customers and we may not be able to generate new or sustain existing revenue.

Some of our business involves embedding digital watermarks in traditional and digital media, including identification documents, secure documents, audio, video and imagery. Our revenue stream is based primarily on a combination of development, consulting, subscription and license fees from copyright protection, counterfeit deterrence and advertisement applications. We have not fully developed revenue models for some of our future digital coding applications. Because some of our products and services are not yet well-established in the marketplace, and because some of these products and services will not directly displace existing solutions, we cannot be certain that the pricing structure for these products and services will gain market acceptance or be sustainable over time or that the marketing for these products and services will be effective.

While we currently have no claims, litigation or regulatory actions filed or pending by or against us, future claims, litigation or enforcement actions could arise, and any obligation to pay a judgment or damages could materially harm our business or financial condition.

From time to time, Digiwork may be engaged in litigation and incurred significant costs relating to these matters. The inherent uncertainties of litigation, and the ultimate cost and outcome of litigation cannot be predicted. We currently do not carry director and officer liability insurance and other insurance policies that provide protection against various liabilities relating to claims against us and our executive officers and directors. Any expenses and liabilities relating to future lawsuits will materially harm our financial condition. In addition, we are unable to obtain this insurance coverage due to cost or other reasons. It could make it more difficult for us to retain and attract officers and directors and could expose us to potentially self-funding certain future liabilities ordinarily mitigated by director and officer liability insurance.

Risks Relating to our VIE Structure

If the Thailand government deems that the contractual arrangements in relation to our VIE do not comply with Thailand regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.

Foreign ownership in Thailand is subject to restrictions under current Thai laws and regulations. For example, foreign investors are generally not allowed to own more than 50% of the equity interests in a Thai company.

We are a U.S. company. To comply with Thai laws and regulations, we conduct such business activities through Digiwork, a Thai VIE of ours. Digiwork is 57.5 % owned by Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, our chairman and chief executive officer, 2.5% owned by Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon, and 40%   owned by S-Mark Co. Ltd. Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant and Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon are Thai citizens. We entered into a series of contractual arrangements with of our VIE and its respective shareholders, which enable us to:

Because of these contractual arrangements, we are the primary beneficiary of our VIE and hence consolidate their financial results as our VIE under U.S. GAAP. For a detailed discussion of these contractual arrangements, see “Section 2. Contractual Arrangements with Digiwork (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

In the opinion of MVP International Law Office & Associates Co., Ltd,  our Thai legal counsel,   (i) the ownership structure of our VIE in Thailand does not result in any violation of Thai laws and regulations currently in effect; and (ii) the contractual arrangements between our subsidiary and VIE and their respective shareholders governed by Thai law will not result in any violation of Thai laws or regulations currently in effect. However, we have been advised by our Thai legal counsel that there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future Thai laws, regulations and rules; accordingly, the Thai regulatory authorities may take a view that is contrary to or otherwise different from the opinion of our Thai legal counsel. If our ownership structure, contractual arrangements and businesses of our VIE are found to be in violation of any existing or future Thai laws or regulations, or we fail to obtain the foresaid market entry clearance, or our VIE fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant Thai regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures, including:

Any of these actions could cause significant disruption to our business operations and severely damage our reputation, which would in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of these occurrences results in our inability to direct the activities of our VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and/or our failure to receive the economic benefits from our VIE, we may not be able to consolidate such entities in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We rely on contractual arrangements with our VIE and its respective shareholders for a portion of our business operations, which may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing operational control.

We have relied and expect to continue to rely on contractual arrangements with our VIE and their respective shareholders to hold our business license in Thailand. For a description of these contractual arrangements, see “Section 2. Contractual Arrangements with Digiwork (Thailand) Co., Ltd.” These contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us with control over our VIE. For example, our VIE and its respective shareholders could breach their contractual arrangements with us by, among other things, failing to conduct their operations, including maintaining our website and using the domain names and trademarks, in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests. 

If we had direct ownership of our VIE, we would be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of our VIE, which in turn could implement changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management and operational level. However, under the current contractual arrangements, we rely on the performance by our VIE and its respective shareholders of their obligations under the contracts to exercise control over our VIE. The shareholders of our consolidated VIE may not act in the best interests of our company or may not perform their obligations under these contracts. Such risks exist throughout the period in which we intend to operate our business through the contractual arrangements with our VIE. If any dispute relating to these contracts remains unresolved, we will have to enforce our rights under these contracts through the operations of Thai law and arbitration, litigation and other legal proceedings and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the Thai legal system. Therefore, our contractual arrangements with our VIE may not be as effective in ensuring our control over the relevant portion of our business operations as direct ownership would be.

Any failure by our VIE or their shareholders to perform their obligations under our contractual arrangements with them would have a material and adverse effect on our business.

If our VIE or their shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under the contractual arrangements, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such arrangements. We may also have to rely on legal remedies under Thai law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, which we cannot assure you will be effective under Thai law. For example, if the respective shareholders of our VIE were to refuse to transfer their equity interest in the VIE to us or our designee if we exercise the purchase option pursuant to these contractual arrangements, or if they were otherwise to act in bad faith toward us, then we may have to take legal actions to compel them to perform their contractual obligations.

All the agreements under our contractual arrangements are governed by Thai law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in Thailand. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with Thai law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with Thai legal procedures. The legal system in the Thailand is not as developed as in some other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the Thai legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. Meanwhile, there are very few precedents and little formal guidance as to how contractual arrangements in the context of a variable interest entity should be interpreted or enforced under Thai law. There remain significant uncertainties regarding the ultimate outcome of such arbitration should legal action become necessary. In addition, under Thai law, rulings by arbitrators are final, parties cannot appeal the arbitration results in courts, and if the losing parties fail to carry out the arbitration awards within a prescribed time limit, the prevailing parties may only enforce the arbitration awards in Thai courts through arbitration award recognition proceedings, which would require additional expenses and delay. In the event we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, or if we suffer significant delay or other obstacles in the process of enforcing these contractual arrangements, we may not be able to exert effective control over our VIE, and our ability to conduct our business may be negatively affected.

The shareholders of our VIE may have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon and S-Mark Co., Ltd, are the shareholders of Digiwork, owning 57.5%, 2.5% and 40% equity interest, respectively, in Digiwork. Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant is our chairman of board of directors and chief executive officer.   The shareholders of our VIE may have potential conflicts of interest with us. These shareholders may breach, or cause our VIE to breach, or refuse to renew, the existing contractual arrangements we have with them and our VIE, which would have a material and adverse effect on our ability to effectively control our VIE and receive economic benefits from them. For example, the shareholders may be able to cause our agreements with our VIE to be performed in a manner adverse to us by, among other things, failing to remit payments due under the contractual arrangements to us on a timely basis. We cannot assure you that when conflicts of interest arise, any or all of these shareholders will act in the best interests of our company or such conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

Currently, we do not have any arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest between the respective shareholders of our VIE and our company. Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant is also a director of our company. We rely on Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant to abide by the laws of the U.S. and Thai, which provide that directors owe a fiduciary duty to the company that requires them to act in good faith and in what they believe to be the best interests of the company and not to use their position for personal gains. There is currently no specific and clear guidance under Thai laws that address any conflict between Thai laws and laws of U.S. in respect of any conflict relating to corporate governance. If we cannot resolve any conflict of interest or dispute between us and the shareholders of our VIE, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of our business and subject us to substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings. 

Contractual arrangements in relation to our VIE may be subject to scrutiny by the Thai tax authorities and they may determine that we or our Thai VIE owe additional taxes, which could negatively affect our financial condition and the value of your investment.

Under applicable Thai laws and regulations, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the Thai tax authorities within ten years after the taxable year when the transactions are conducted. We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the Thai tax authorities determine that the contractual arrangements between our wholly-owned subsidiary in BVI, our VIE in Thailand, and their respective shareholders were not entered into on an arm’s length basis in such a way as to result in an impermissible reduction in taxes under applicable Thai laws, rules and regulations, and adjust our VIE income in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could, among other things, result in a reduction of expense deductions recorded by our VIE for Thai tax purposes, which could in turn increase their tax liabilities without reducing our subsidiaries’ tax expenses. In addition, the Thai tax authorities may impose late payment fees and other penalties on our VIE for the adjusted but unpaid taxes according to the applicable regulations. Our financial position could be materially and adversely affected if our VIE’ tax liabilities increase or if they are required to pay late payment fees and other penalties.

We may lose the ability to use and enjoy assets held by our VIE that are material to the operation of our business if the entities go bankrupt or become subject to dissolution or liquidation proceedings.

As part of our contractual arrangements with our VIE, our VIE holds certain assets that are material to the operation of our business. If our VIE goes bankrupt and all or part of its assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we may be unable to continue some or all of our business activities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Under the contractual arrangements, our VIE may not, in any manner, sell, transfer, mortgage or dispose of their assets or legal or beneficial interests in the business without our prior consent. If our VIE undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, the independent third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Doing Business in Thailand   

Our business operation is headquartered in Thailand. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in Thailand generally and by continued economic growth in Thailand as a whole.

Thai economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign investment and allocation of resources. Thai government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Thai economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations.

Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of Thai laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us. We may be adversely affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in Thai regulations of IT businesses and companies.

Fund Reservation in Thailand

The reform government of Thailand may issue laws or regulations without the approval by parliament that might have a material adverse impact on our financial and business prospects. For example, in 2014, the reform government issued new laws and regulations pursuant to section 44 exemption of the Constitution which allowed the government to issue new laws without approval of the parliament.  The new law required all businesses in Thailand to have a reservation fund that equals to 30% of the entity’s annual net profits.  The change of law affected the whole business sector in terms of dividend contributions and discouraged foreign investments in Thailand.  Due to sharp criticism from the foreigner investors, the reform government withdrew the respective new laws and regulations and removed such reservation fund requirement. 

Tax collection in Thailand

In 2016, the reform government issued the amnesty for tax law violations. However, the policy was subsequently changed in 180 degree and the government issued stricter tax collection policies covering all companies and their accounts in order to collect more revenues from the business sectors. The new policies impose punishment not only on accountants and auditors as before but also extended to company directors. The uncertain tax regulation and enforcement increases our compliance cost and poses risks of potential violation of tax laws in Thailand.

IT Laws in Thailand

The current IT laws in Thailand have been outdated and might not be able to effectively protect our IT related intellectual properties and licenses, and thus make them vulnerable to imitation and infringements. Although the reform government is now considering new laws and regulations that better protect intellectual properties in Thailand, it might take time for such rules and regulations to be implemented. Any possible infringement of our intellectual properties could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Natural disasters, epidemics, acts of terrorism and other destabilizing developments could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Natural disasters, such as the October to November 2011 flooding in Thailand, could severely disrupt our operations. These events, over which we have little or no control, could cause a decrease in demand for our services, make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver products and services or require large expenditures to repair or replace our facilities. Potential outbreaks of infectious diseases in the countries in which we operate, including Thailand, such as the H1N1 influenza virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (“SARS”) or bird flu could disrupt our operations and reduce demand for our products and services. In addition, increased international political instability, evidenced by the threat or occurrence of terrorist attacks, enhanced national security measures, conflicts in the Middle East and Asia, strained international relations arising from these conflicts and the related decline in consumer confidence and economic weakness, may hinder our ability to do business. Any escalation in these events or similar future events may disrupt our operations and the operations of our customers. These events have had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the Thailand and world economy in general, and customer confidence and spending in particular, which in turn could adversely affect our total revenues and operating results.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The market price for our common stock is highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

In addition, the securities markets from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies.  These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Shareholders could experience substantial dilution.

We may issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise additional cash for working capital. If we issue additional shares of our capital stock, our shareholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in the company.

A large portion of our common stock is controlled by a small number of shareholders.

A large portion of our common stock is held by a small number of shareholders. As a result, these shareholders are able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions including business combinations.  In addition, the occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock.

We may be subject to “penny stock” regulations.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and our sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. Whenever any of our securities become subject to the penny stock rules, holders of those securities may have difficulty in selling those securities.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.  

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon then-existing conditions, including our operating results and financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors that our board of directors considers relevant. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

Our common stock has cleared for quotation on the OTCQB marketplace using the symbol “IWBB” since March 1, 2016. The following table sets forth the range of quarterly high and low closing prices of our common stock as reported during 2018 (commencing October 22, 2018, the first day on which trading is reported on the OTC Markets website), based on information on the OTC Markets website. These prices reflect inter-dealer quotations, do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions and do not necessarily reflect actual transactions.

Our shares of common stock are subject to Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. The rule defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse, and certain institutional investors. The rules require the broker-dealer to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase and require the broker-dealer to deliver a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock prior to the first transaction. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to customers disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks.

Holders of Record

We have 347 stockholders of record as of March 12, 2019.

Dividend

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive pro rata such dividends as our Board, from time to time, may declare out of funds legally available therefor. The current policy of the Board is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth.

Dividend Policy

The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend. Any future decisions regarding dividends will be made by our Board, which has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Even if our Board decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

Overview

IWEB Inc. is a corporation in a stage of early development that was formed in the State of Nevada on February 17, 2015. Our initial strategy was to design web sites for clients, manage advertising campaigns and to develop and become a company that provides better search engine optimization (“SEO”) software and techniques to smaller clients.

On May 15, 2017, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Enigma Technology International Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company, (“Enigma BVI”), and all the shareholders of Enigma BVI, namely, Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon, and S-Mark Co. Ltd. (each a “Shareholder” and collectively the “Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Enigma BVI in exchange for the issuance to the Shareholders of an aggregate of 31,500,000 restricted shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). As a result of the Reverse Merger, Enigma BVI is now our wholly-owned subsidiary. For accounting purposes, the transaction with Enigma BVI was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Enigma BVI as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of Enigma BVI and its consolidated subsidiary.

As result of the Reverse Merger, Enigma BVI became our wholly-owned subsidiary and its business became our business. Enigma BVI is a holding company incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on February 22, 2017. Enigma BVI conducts its business through its variable interest entity, Digiwork (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (“Digiwork” or “VIE”), a company incorporated in Thailand on November 24, 2016 with registered capital of Thai Baht (“THB”) 5,000,000 (approximately $154,751). Digiwork is an operating vehicle that is a joint venture company by two Thai shareholders (Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon) and one Korean shareholder, S-Mark Co., Ltd., which is a publicly listed company in Korea. Digiwork Korea is a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of S-Mark Co., Ltd., and provides licenses of various coding technologies to Digiwork for the operation in seven countries: Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

All references above to share and per share data of IWEB, Inc. have been adjusted to give effect of the 1-for-2 reverse stock split by the Company effective on March 13, 2018.

Our Business Strategy

Digiwork was set up pursuant to a joint business agreement among its shareholders (“JBA”) on August 4, 2016, as amended and restated on March 31, 2017. Pursuant to the JBA, Digiwork was originally obligated to pay a total of $10,000,000 to S-Mark Co., Ltd., a shareholder of Digiwork or Digiwork Co., Ltd. (“Digiwork Korea”, a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of S-Mark Co., Ltd., a 31.3% shareholder of the Company). On July 10, 2017, parties to the JBA entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Joint Business Agreement which amended the total payment from $10,000,000 to $1,100,000. As the consideration for such payments, Digiwork Korea agreed to provide research and development services to Digiwork for a period of five years commencing from March 31, 2017. Digiwork currently has 4 full time employees, all of which are administrative staff members. The technical services are currently provided by contracted technicians from Digiwork Korea.

Digiwork Korea also agreed to grant to Digiwork full and exclusive licenses of any new launches, developments, improvements and any other intellectual property rights so developed by Digiwork Korea. The territories for such licenses are Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Digiwork was authorized by Digiwork Korea to be an official licensee and distributor of its technology exclusively in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, and the authorization covers all four categories of Digiwork Korea’s coding technology: image, audio, web and security coding. This technology enables governments and enterprises around the world to give digital identities to media and objects that computers can sense and recognize, and to which they can react.

Digiwork is a technology development and services provider specializing in coding services in various industries and markets. Digiwork’s technology enables enterprises to imbed or imprint invisible digital identities to media and objects that various computer devices can sense and recognize and to which they can react. Our coding technology provides the means to infuse persistent digital information, perceptible only to computers and digital devices, into all forms of media content. Our coding technology permits computers and digital devices including smartphones, tablets, industrial scanners and other computer interfaces to quickly identify relevant data from vast amounts of media content. We focus on four coding technologies:

We provide tailor-made coding technological solutions to various commercial entities in different markets. Our technologies enable companies to give digital identity or information through various media like music, movies, television broadcasts, images and printed materials. The wide range application of the above four technologies can provide improved media rights, asset management, reduce piracy and counterfeiting losses, improve marketing programs, permit more efficient and effective distribution of valuable media content and enhance consumer experiences.

In September 2018, we incorporated Marvelous ERA Limited in the British Virgin Islands as a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Marvelous ERA”). Marvelous ERA is the 70% majority owner of One Belt One Network Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“OBON”) which was incorporated in October 2018. OBON is the sole parent of One Belt One Network (HK) Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong SAR in October 2018. These companies currently have minimal operations.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Revenues and cost of revenue. Revenue is principally comprised of image coding services revenue, and represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of our activities and is recorded net of value-added tax ("VAT"). Enigma BVI has not earned any revenue since its inception.

Digiwork’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $30,192 were derived from two customers, which individually accounted for 53% and 47% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.

Digiwork’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $126,456 were derived from two customers, which individually accounted for 65% and 35% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.

Two unrelated individuals were hired by Digiwork in relation to its two projects and incurred costs totaling $5,201 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Two unrelated individuals were hired by Digiwork in relation to its two projects and incurred costs totaled $19,119 for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

General and administrative expenses.

Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $818,575, $119,686 of which were costs associated with our personnel, $228,946 of which were R&D expenses and $345,149 of which were audit and professional fees.

Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $592,402, $74,463 of which were costs associated with our personnel in Thailand, $163,159 of which were R&D expenses and $279,637 of which were audit and professional fees.

We reclassified 2017 exchange gain of $28,018 from a reduction in general and administrative expenses to other income, in order to conform to the 2018 financial statement presentation.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase when we expand our operations. 

Other income. Our other income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $15,507 and $33,138, respectively, which was partially related to exchange differences. Although a majority of total revenues, payroll and other operating expenses are incurred and paid by our VIE in Thailand in Thai baht, its payment of R&D services provided by Digiwork Korea is required to be made in U.S. dollars. During 2018, the final payment of $1,000,000 was paid by Enigma BVI to Digiwork Korea in connection with the agreement between those entities. As of December 31, 2018, our VIE in Thailand owed Enigma BVI (as of December 31, 2017, our VIE owed Digiwork Korea) $1,000,000 for such R&D services fees. As Thai baht appreciated against the U.S. dollar in 2018 and 2017, we recorded an exchange gain of $7,466 and $28,018, respectively.

Net loss. As a result of the above, we recorded a net loss of $778,077 and $451,927 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

Going Concern

We have a history of recurring net losses and a significant accumulated deficit. At December 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $564,332, and net working capital deficit of $320,167. As a result, the report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the year then ended included an explanatory paragraph in respect to the substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for fiscal year 2017 and for prior periods did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty. Our plan for continuing as a going concern included improving our profitability, and obtaining additional debt financing, loans from existing directors and shareholders and private placements of capital stock for additional funding to meet our operating needs.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we entered into two Securities Purchase Agreements with investors, pursuant to which we sold to the investors in private placements an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Share for an aggregate offering price of $2,500,000, which we believe provides sufficient working capital and enough cash on hand to satisfy our current obligations. See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,517,053 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was mainly due to our net loss of $778,077 and a payment made to a related party of $1,000,000, which were partially offset by cash inflow of $221,479 resulting from a decrease in prepayments and deposits and $33,995 increase in accruals.

Net cash used in operating activities was $313,191 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was mainly due to our net loss of $451,927 and increase in prepayments and deposits of $838,538, and partially offset by cash inflow of $957,489 from an increase in payable to a related company and cash inflow of $44,671 from an increase in accruals.

Investing Activities

We used cash of nil and $13,734 for purchases of property, plant and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $2,187,503 and $386,891, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we received $2,500,000 from the sale and issuance of our common stock and advances of $349,801 from our directors, which were partially offset by repayment of advances in the amount of $662,298 to our directors. In 2017, we received advances of $286,891 from our directors, and repaid $147,750 to directors. We also received proceeds of $197,750 from issue of our shares and capital contribution of $50,000 from shareholders. 

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2018: 

We entered into a lease for office space located in Din Daeng Sub-District, Din Daeng District, Bangkok, Thailand for the period from February 21, 2017 to February 20, 2020, at THB127,120 ($3,934) per month.

We entered into a lease for office space located in Hong Kong for the period from November 1, 2018 to October 31, 2019, at HK$55,000 ($7,051) per month.

On April 1, 2018, Enigma BVI entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Cheng Kim Sing to serve as Enigma BVI’s chief financial officer for a monthly salary of HK$45,000 (approximately $5,769). The employment agreement may be terminated by Enigma BVI or Mr. Cheng with one month’s prior notice or by Enigma BVI immediately for cause.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Certain amounts included in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 financial statement presentation as follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

VIE Consolidation

Digiwork (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is wholly owned by Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon and S-Mark Co. Ltd. (a KOSDAQ-listed corporation) as nominee shareholders. For the consolidated VIE, management made evaluations of the relationships between Enigma BVI and the VIE and the economic benefit flow of contractual arrangements with the VIE. In connection with such evaluation, management also took into account the fact that, as a result of such contractual arrangements, Enigma BVI controls the shareholders’ voting interests in the VIE. As a result of such evaluation, management concluded that Enigma BVI is the primary beneficiary of its VIE.

Owing primarily to the Thailand legal restrictions on foreign ownership, we currently conduct the coding business in Thailand through Digiwork, which we effectively control through a series of contractual arrangements. We consolidate in our financial statements the VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance supersedes current guidance on revenue recognition in Topic 605, ‘‘Revenue Recognition.” In addition, there are disclosure requirements related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We adopted these amendments with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the new revenue standards). The new revenue standards became effective for us on January 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of January 1, 2018 did not change our revenue recognition as our revenues continue to be recognized when the customer takes control of our services. As we did not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to our service revenues, no adjustment to accumulated deficit was required upon adoption.

On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, which does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases. ASU 2016-02 specifies the accounting for leases. For operating leases, ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. In addition, this standard requires both lessees and lessors to disclose certain key information about lease transactions. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No., 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows — Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, which does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim period within those fiscal years. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, which does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, which does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation.  A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The new guidance may be applied at the beginning of the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in federal income tax rate from the Tax Act is recognized. The new standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We do not anticipate the revised standard will impact our consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

In August 2018, the SEC issued Release No. 33-10532 that amends and clarifies certain financial reporting requirements. The principal change to our financial reporting will be the inclusion of the annual disclosure requirement of changes in stockholders’ equity in Rule 3-04 of Regulation S-X to interim periods. We will adopt this new rule beginning with our financial reporting for the quarter ending March 31, 2019. Upon adoption, we will include our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity with each quarterly filing on Form 10-Q.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of IWEB, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IWEB, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

IWEB, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 17, 2015.

The Company’s original business plan was to actively engage in providing high impact internet marketing strategies to internet based businesses and people seeking to create websites, but this business was not successful. On December 12, 2016, 24,997,500 shares of the common stock of the Company, representing 97.08% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at that time, were sold by Dmitriy Kolyvayko in a private transaction to Mr. Wai Hok Fung (the “Transaction”) for an aggregate purchase price of $380,000. In connection with the Transaction, Mr. Kolyvayko released the Company from certain liabilities and obligations arising out of his service as a director and officer of the Company.

On January 5, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to change the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31, effective as of December 31, 2016.

On May 15, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Enigma Technology International Corporation (“Enigma BVI”), and all the shareholders of Enigma BVI, namely, Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon and S-Mark Co. Ltd. (collectively the “Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Enigma BVI in exchange for the issuance to the Shareholders of an aggregate of 31,500,000 restricted shares of IWEB, Inc.’s common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The Reverse Merger closed on May 15, 2017. As a result of the Reverse Merger, Enigma BVI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Enigma BVI was incorporated on February 22, 2017 in the British Virgin Islands.

Digiwork (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (“Digiwork”) was established and incorporated in Thailand on November 24, 2016. The authorized capital of the Digiwork is THB5,000,000 (approximately $154,751), divided into 500,000 common shares with a par value of THB10 per share, which has been fully paid up as of December 31, 2016.

On May 15, 2017, Enigma BVI, Digiwork and the shareholders of Digiwork entered into the following commercial arrangements, or collectively, “VIE Agreements,” pursuant to which Enigma BVI has contractual rights to control and operate the businesses of Digiwork.

Pursuant to an Exclusive Technology Consulting and Service Agreement, Enigma BVI agreed to act as the exclusive consultant of Digiwork and provide technology consulting and services to Digiwork. In exchange, Digiwork agreed to pay Enigma BVI a technology consulting and service fee, the amount of which is decided by Enigma BVI on the basis of the work performed and commercial value of the services and the fee amount to be equivalent to the amount of net profit before tax of Digiwork on a quarterly basis; provided that the minimum amount of which is no less than THB30,000 (approximately $929) per quarter. Without the prior written consent of Enigma BVI, Digiwork may not accept the same or similar technology consulting and services provided by any third party during the term of the agreement. All the benefits and interests generated from the agreement, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, know-how and trade secrets, will be Enigma BVI’s sole and exclusive property. The term of this agreement will expire on May 15, 2027 and may be extended unilaterally by Enigma BVI with Enigma BVI's written confirmation prior to the expiration date. Digiwork cannot terminate the agreement early unless Enigma BVI commits fraud, gross negligence or illegal acts, or becomes bankrupt or winds up.

Pursuant to an Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement, the shareholders of Digiwork granted to Enigma BVI and any party designated by Enigma BVI the exclusive right to purchase at any time during the term of this agreement all or part of the equity interests in Digiwork, or the “Equity Interests,” at a purchase price equal to the registered capital paid by the shareholders of Digiwork for the Equity Interests, or, in the event that applicable law requires an appraisal of the Equity Interests, the lowest price permitted under applicable law; Pursuant to powers of attorney executed by each of the shareholders of Digiwork, such shareholders irrevocably authorized any person appointed by Enigma BVI to exercise all shareholder rights, including but not limited to voting on their behalf on all matters requiring approval of Digiwork’s shareholders, disposing of all or part of the shareholder's equity interest in Digiwork, and electing, appointing or removing directors and executive officers. The person designated by Enigma BVI is entitled to dispose of dividends and profits on the equity interest without reliance of any oral or written instructions of the shareholder. Each power of attorney will remain in force for so long as the shareholder remains a shareholder of Digiwork. Each shareholder has waived all the rights which have been authorized to Enigma BVI’s designated person under each power of attorney.

Pursuant to equity pledge agreements, each of the shareholders of Digiwork pledged all of the Equity Interests to Enigma BVI to secure the full and complete performance of the obligations and liabilities on the part of Digiwork and each of its shareholders under this and the above contractual arrangements. If Digiwork or the shareholders of Digiwork breach their contractual obligations under these agreements, then Enigma BVI, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests. The shareholders of Digiwork agree that, during the term of the equity pledge agreements, they will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests, and they also agree that Enigma BVI’s rights relating to the equity pledge should not be prejudiced by the legal actions of the shareholders, their successors or their designees. During the term of the equity pledge, Enigma BVI has the right to receive all of the dividends and profits distributed on the pledged equity. The equity pledge agreements will terminate on the second anniversary of the date when Digiwork and the shareholders of Digiwork have completed all their obligations under the contractual agreements described above.

As a result of the above contractual arrangements, Enigma BVI has substantial control over Digiwork’s daily operations and financial affairs, election of its senior executives and all matters requiring shareholder approval. Furthermore, as the primary beneficiary of Digiwork, the Company, via Enigma BVI, is entitled to consolidate the financial results of Digiwork in its own consolidated financial statements under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, or ASC Topic 810.

Digiwork was set up pursuant to a joint business agreement among its shareholders on August 4, 2016 and as amended and restated on March 31, 2017 (“JBA”). Pursuant to the JBA, Digiwork is obligated to pay a total of $10,000,000 to S-Mark Co. Ltd. a shareholder of Digiwork or Digiwork Co., Ltd. (“Digiwork Korea”), a wholly owned subsidiary of S-Mark. As consideration for such payments, Digiwork Korea agreed to provide research and development services to Digiwork for a period of five years commencing on March 31, 2017. On December 31, 2016, an initial payment of $100,000 was paid to Digiwork Korea.

On July 10, 2017, the parties to the JBA entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Joint Business Agreement which amended the total payment from $10,000,000 to $1,100,000. The final payment of $1,000,000 was due on August 31, 2017.  In May 2018, the final payment of $1,000,000 was paid to Digiwork Korea. Prepaid R&D to Digiwork Korea were $743,923 and $965,614 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Digiwork Korea also agrees to grant Digiwork full and exclusive licenses of any new launches, developments, improvements and any other intellectual property rights of coding technology so developed by Digiwork Korea. The territories for such licenses are in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Digiwork was authorized by Digiwork Korea to be an official licensee and distributor of its technology exclusively in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, and the authorization covers all four categories of Digiwork Korea’s coding technology: image, audio, web and security coding. This technology enables governments and enterprises around the world to give digital identities to media and objects that computers can sense and recognize, and to which they can react.

Digiwork is a technology development and services provider specializing in coding services in various industries and markets. 

In September 2018, the Company incorporated Marvelous ERA Limited in the British Virgin Islands as a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Marvelous ERA”). Marvelous ERA is the 70% majority owner of One Belt One Network Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“OBON”) which was incorporated in October 2018. OBON is the sole parent of One Belt One Network (HK) Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong SAR in October 2018. These companies currently have minimal operations.

Organization and reorganization

Enigma BVI was incorporated on February 22, 2017 in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability as an investment holding company. Upon incorporation, Enigma BVI issued 50,000 shares at $1 each. Prior to the reorganization, Enigma BVI was owned 57.5% by Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, 2.5% by Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon, and 40% by S-Mark Co. Ltd., a KOSDAQ-listed corporation and 100% shareholder of Digiwork Korea.

Digiwork (Thailand) Co. Ltd was incorporated in Thailand with limited liability on November 24, 2016. Digiwork was also owned 57.5% by Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, 2.5% by Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon, and 40% by S-Mark Co. Ltd.

On May 15, 2017, Enigma BVI, Digiwork and the shareholders of Digiwork entered into the abovementioned VIE Agreements, pursuant to which Enigma BVI has contractual rights to control and operate the businesses of Digiwork. The change in control of and the acquisition of Digiwork by Enigma BVI have been accounted for as common control transaction in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and there was no recognition of any goodwill or excess of the acquirers’ interest in the net fair value of the acquirees’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the common control combinations. Therefore, this transaction was recorded at historical cost with a reclassification of equity from retained profits to additional paid in capital to reflect the deemed value of consideration given in the local jurisdiction and the capital structure of Enigma BVI.

On May 15, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Enigma Technology International Corporation (“Enigma BVI”), and all the shareholders of Enigma BVI, namely, Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon and S-Mark Co. Ltd. (collectively the “Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Enigma BVI in exchange for the issuance to the Shareholders of an aggregate of 31,500,000 restricted shares of IWEB, Inc.’s common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The Reverse Merger closed on May 15, 2017. As a result of the Reverse Merger, Enigma BVI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On May 15, 2017, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announcing the completion of the business combination between the Company and Enigma BVI in accordance with the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result of the transaction, Enigma BVI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the former shareholders of Enigma BVI became the holders of approximately 84% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Enigma BVI is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.  The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.

On March 7, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the State of Nevada (the “Certificate”) to effect a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) such that, following the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock was reduced from 150,000,000 to 75,000,000. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on March 13, 2018.

All references to share and per share data of IWEB, Inc. in these financial statements have been adjusted to give effect of the 1-for-2 reverse stock split by the Company effective on March 13, 2018.

Going Concern

The Company has a history of recurring net losses and a significant accumulated deficit. At December 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $564,332, and net working capital deficit of $320,167. As a result, the report from the independent registered public accounting firm for the year then ended included an explanatory paragraph in respect to the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for fiscal year 2017 and for prior periods did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty. The Company’s plan for continuing as a going concern included improving its profitability, and obtaining additional debt financing, loans from existing directors and shareholders and private placements of capital stock for additional funding to meet its operating needs.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into two Securities Purchase Agreements with investors, pursuant to which the Company sold to the investors in private placements an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Share for an aggregate offering price of $2,500,000, which management believes provides sufficient working capital and enough cash on hand to satisfy its current obligations. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Certain amounts included in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 financial statement presentation as follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Identified below are the accounting policies that reflect the Company’s most significant estimates and judgments, and those that the Company believes are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating its consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation and Noncontrolling Interests

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIE entity. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

For the Company's non-wholly owned subsidiaries, a noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect portion of equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Consolidated net income in the consolidated income statements includes net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. The cumulative results of operations attributable to noncontrolling interests are also recorded as noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with noncontrolling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

VIE Consolidation

The Company’s VIE is owned as to 57.5% by Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, 2.5% by Ms. Chanikarn Lertchawalitanon, and 40% by S-Mark Co. Ltd., a KOSDAQ-listed corporation. For the consolidated VIE, management made evaluations of the relationships between the Company and the VIE and the economic benefit flow of contractual arrangements with the VIE. In connection with such evaluation, management also took into account the fact that, as a result of such contractual arrangements, the Company controls the shareholders’ voting interests in these VIE. As a result of such evaluation, management concluded that Enigma BVI is the primary beneficiary of its consolidated VIE.

Owing predominantly to the Thailand legal restrictions on foreign ownership, Enigma BVI currently conducts the coding business in Thailand through Digiwork, which it effectively controls through a series of contractual arrangements. The Company consolidates in its consolidated financial statements of the VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The following financial information of the Company’s consolidated VIE is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.

The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell the relevant assets and is recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment of long-lived assets using the projected discounted cash flow method at the asset group level. The estimation of future cash flows requires significant management judgment based on the Company’s historical results and anticipated results and is subject to many factors. The discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s business model is determined by its management. An impairment loss would be recorded if the Company determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. No impairment has been recorded by the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is principally comprised of image coding services revenue, and represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of the Company's activities and is recorded net of value-added tax ("VAT"). Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

Revenues are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product or services, which may occur at a point in time or over time depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement. 

Digiwork’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $30,192 were derived from two customers, which individually accounted for 53% and 47% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.

Digiwork’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $126,456 were derived from two customers, which individually accounted for 65% and 35% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.

Two unrelated individuals were hired by Digiwork in relation to its two projects and incurred costs totaling $5,201 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Two unrelated individuals were hired by Digiwork in relation to its two projects and incurred costs totaled $19,119 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company and its subsidiaries have not earned any revenue since their inception.

Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is US$. The Company's VIE with operations in Thailand uses its respective local currency, Thai Baht (“THB”), as its functional currency. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.

Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in the statements of comprehensive loss.

The financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average of the exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated using the historical exchange rates at the date the entry to stockholders’ equity was recorded, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is translated using the historical exchange rates used to translate each period’s income statement. Differences resulting from translating functional currencies to the reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the balance sheets.

Translation of amounts from THB into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:

Research and Development

Research and development costs are paid to Digiwork Korea, which is providing research and development services to Digiwork for a period of five years commencing from March 31, 2017. Research and development costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses and expensed as incurred. Research and development expense was $228,946 and $163,159 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on available evidence, it is considered that it is more likely than not that some portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers factors including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future profitability, and tax planning strategies. If events were to occur in the future that would allow the Company to realize more of its deferred tax assets than the presently recorded net amount, an adjustment would be made to the deferred tax assets that would increase income for the period when those events occurred. If events were to occur in the future that would require the Company to realize less of its deferred tax assets than the presently recorded net amount, an adjustment would be made to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that would decrease income for the period when those events occurred. Significant management judgment is required in determining income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Thailand Withholding Tax on Dividends

Dividends payable by a foreign invested enterprise in Thailand to its foreign investors are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless any foreign investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with Thailand that provides for a different withholding arrangement. 

Uncertain Tax Positions

Management reviews regularly the adequacy of the provisions for taxes as they relate to the Company’s income and transactions. In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Company applies a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. For the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions. In subsequent periods, any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized as a component of income tax expense.

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The calculation of basic net loss per share of common stock is based on the net loss the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The Company completed a reverse stock split on March 13, 2018, pursuant to which every two shares of the Company’s common stock were combined into one share of common stock. All share information and amounts included in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to effect for this stock split.

The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.

Segments

The Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments, and then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meets the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has one reportable segment in the periods presented (see Note 7). 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is:

Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market place.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash at banks and on hand and balances with related parties approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Accumulated other comprehensive income includes cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance supersedes current guidance on revenue recognition in Topic 605, ‘‘Revenue Recognition.” In addition, there are disclosure requirements related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted these amendments with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the new revenue standards). The new revenue standards became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of January 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as its revenues continue to be recognized when the customer takes control of its services. As the Company did not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to its service revenues, no adjustment to accumulated deficit was required upon adoption.

On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, which does not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases. ASU 2016-02 specifies the accounting for leases. For operating leases, ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. In addition, this standard requires both lessees and lessors to disclose certain key information about lease transactions. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, which does not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim period within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, which does not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, which does not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The new guidance may be applied at the beginning of the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in federal income tax rate from the Tax Act is recognized. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company does not anticipate the revised standard will impact its consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures. 

In August 2018, the SEC issued Release No. 33-10532 that amends and clarifies certain financial reporting requirements. The principal change to the Company’s financial reporting will be the inclusion of the annual disclosure requirement of changes in stockholders’ equity in Rule 3-04 of Regulation S-X to interim periods. The Company will adopt this new rule beginning with its financial reporting for the quarter ending March 31, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company will include its Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity with each quarterly filing on Form 10-Q.
